aOR: odds ratio

bBCI: Bayesian credible interval

cρ: scalar parameter representing the rate of decline of correlation with distance between points

dσ2: estimate of geographic variability

eDIC: deviance information criterion; a composite measure of how well the model does, i.e. a compromise between fit and complexity, with smaller DICs indicating better performance of the model
